Asma – Zwartjes [MRECLTDGS003]

The third of M_Rec Ltd’s vinyl only Grey Series comes from Asma, a new collaboration between Ascion and M_Rec boss Max_M. Supposedly inspired by Dutch experimental filmmaker Frans Zwartjes’ 1968 short film of the same name, “Birds” offers some expectedly atmospheric techno; opening with tribal, rolling, warehouse-sized drums and foggy strings in the background, the track soon gives way to a heady concoction of bristling static and plucked textures played over a sonic void. Sandwell District alumnus Silent Servant’s remix is a stark contrast, pairing some vintage chord stabs, snare rolls and drum machine percussion to create a basement ready house jam laced with spectral atmospherics that is possibly one of the more club-ready tracks he has produced to date.

Mike Dehnert – Placide EP [FW029]

Mike Dehnert with a new 4 tracker, including a massive live version of Drehimpuls. The rest is slightly lighter with Eigenzeit as serious contender for winning the election of favorite tracks on this EP. A proper peak time techno monster. However b2 track Isolant is another one of Mike’s seductive grooving techno tracks in the known Dehnert style.
